Yesterday, sixty students turned in their "Who Am I" essays. And, of course, today, repeatedly, I heard, "Mrs. Kies, are we going to get our papers back today?"
"Yeah, right," I said to the sixth hour class. "I've got a life, you know."
"You do?" Sam asked.
"Yes, I do. Last night I went to yoga, then my book club meeting and . . ."
The whole class began to laugh.
"What's so funny?"
"I suppose you sat around and talked about what you read."
"Yeah, it was fun."
The laughter increased in volume.
"You call that a life?" I heard from the back.
It just might take me awhile to get those papers corrected.

I think their grades may have just dropped...
